About this property

SPACIOUS TOWNHOUSE NEAR SHORT SANDS BEACH

This 2300 sq.ft. townhouse is just 500 ft. from beautiful Short Sands Beach and a 3 minute bike ride to Long Sands Beach. The location is centrally located in York Beach Village, just steps away from the shops and restaurants. The village is undergoing a revitalization and you will be at the very heart of it!! This property is becoming a favorite place for families attending weddings at the Union Bluff Hotel due to its size, number of bedrooms and the 3 minute walk from the Hotel.

The main floor (second floor of property) is bright and open with fully equipped modern kitchen, living room, dining area, full bathroom and queen bedroom. Boasting hardwood floors and a slider leading out to the deck for relaxing and those eat-in barbeques.

There are three bedrooms and 2 full baths upstairs (third floor of property) all freshly carpeted and painted. There is an outdoor shower which is a must when those sandy little ones return from a day at the beach. There is parking for two cars, three if small.

Loads of summer beach activities are just a short walk away from your unit. York's Wild Kingdom and Amusement Park offers activities for the kids at a reasonable all day inclusive price. Check the zoo in the morning before the animals retreat from the heat, walk home for lunch and a siesta and then walk back for the rides a little later!! If you don't want to make lunch, multiple dining options are located on the walk between your beach paradise and the park!!

Short Sands Beach is just steps away as well. The property has beach chairs, beach toys and a beach cart for your convenience. The beach area has an arcade, playground, basketball courts and a summer music series at the public gazebo.

Long Sands beach is accessible as well by 15 minute walk, 3 minute bike ride or quick ride by car. The historic Nubble Lighthouse is located less than 5 minutes by car as well between the two beach areas. For those who like to jog/run/walk, the three mile scenic roundtrip to the light house can't be beat!! The ice cream at Dunn's Ice Cream on Nubble Road is a local's and visitor's favorite!!

Nearby activities include Perkin's Cove in Ogunquit that is a scenic 10 minute ride from your beach paradise off of Shore Road. There you will find more shops, dining, deep sea fishing, scenic cruises and the famous Marginal Way. The Outlet shopping of Kittery is 10 minutes away for a rainy day activity. Even something for the men on a shopping trip as they scour the multi-level Kittery Trading Post for all their outdoors needs! LL Bean is also about an hour away as well.

Both the City of Portsmouth NH and Portland ME are less than an hour away and offer a multitude of activities, dining, historic sites and shopping opportunities as well. Water Country is an exciting waterpark 20 minutes away that offers water slides and pools for all ages. Old Orchard Beach and Saco ME also have amusement parks as well at less than a 45 minute drive away. The Portland Sea Dogs is a great night out with tickets for a family of four costing less than the cost of one ticket at Fenway Park!!

Whatever your families needs are for summer fun you are sure to satisfy them with this modern town home as your base! Whether you just park the car for the week and enjoy all the sun and fun within walking distance of your unit or take daytrips to further enhance your vacation experience, this is sure to be your "Happy Place" at the end of the day!!!

Walking distance to everything.

The location is perfect. Walk to the beach, brewery, breakfast and bars. Other great restaurants and sights a short drive away. Late at night and early morning, you can hear the surf from the deck. I would recommend this to anyone of any age, provided you don't have an issue with stairs.

The location couldn't have been any better. My family visited York for a wedding and used this house as our base camp for over a week. Tons of space and walking distance to everything around town. This was a great place to stay and looking forward to our next visit.

Great Space

Our family of 9 very much enjoyed this place to celebrate Thanksgiving together. The photos and info are very accurate of the inside space. With 6 adults and 3 children, are appreciated having 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a well stocked kitchen, seating for us all at the dining room table and a spacious living room. So many extras with a crib, pack n play, high chair, puzzles, games, safety gates, and such. And, a very short walk to the beach, playground and an open coffee shop!! Before our family left they asked if we could meet here again in two years. Many thanks to our hosts for their communication and for sharing their place.
